Raphael Saadiq - Love of My Life (An Ode To Hip Hop) lyrics

Bring it over here and let's go back Way back Ooh... Way back, yeah I met him when I was a Little girl, he gave me He gave me poetry And he was my first But in my heart I knew I Wasn't the only one Cause when the tables turned He had to break up [Pre-Hook] Whenever I got lonely Or needed some advice He gave me his shoulder His words were very nice But that is all behind me Cause now there is no other My love is his and his is mine A friend became the [Hook] Love of my life You are my friend Love of my life I can depend Love of my life Without you, baby It feels like a simple true love Hope this sh** ain't clear [Common] A freak-freak, y'all, and ya don't stop To the beat y'all and ya don't stop A freak-freak Or could it be that it was All just so simple then A teenage lover who said He's just a friend He moved around and we kept In touch through his friend Mike The world was young and he knew We couldn't rush but [Pre-Hook & Hook] [Common] Y'all know how I met her We broke up and got back together To get her back I had to sweat her Thought she roll with bad boys forever in many ways Them boys may be better, to I had to let her (Never) She needed cheddar and I understood that Lookin' for cheese, that don't make her a hood rat (Rat) In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me I love it when she sings to me It's like that now Love of my life Ooh, you know you rock my world and Love of my life You be boy and I'll be girl and Love of my life We don't stop until the break of dawn, ooh... Love of my life Ooh, you know you rock my world and Love of my life You be boy and I'll be girl and Love of my life Yeah...
